How To Quit
Quitting is aerobics for your brain; it's also the counterintuitive secret to success. Today I bring you a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julia Keller about how to view quitting not as a pejorative but instead as a tool for swapping one destiny for another.

(Answer: quasi-quitting!) [23:00] Words of encouragement for listeners concerned they'll regret it later [27:00] How parents listening can best support their children when they want to quit Resources mentioned: Pre-order Quitting: A Life Strategy (to release April 18) Orlo Nutrition Join our (free!) community here Find your tribe.
